Abstract

In this paper we consider the large genus asymptotics for two classes of Siegel-Veech constants associated with an arbitrary connected stratum H(α)\mathcal{H} (\alpha) of Abelian differentials. The first is the saddle connection Siegel-Veech constant cscmi,mj(H(α))c_{\text{sc}}^{m_i, m_j} \big( \mathcal{H} (\alpha) \big) counting saddle connections between two distinct, fixed zeros of prescribed orders mim_i and mjm_j, and the second is the area Siegel-Veech constant carea(H(α))c_{\text{area}} \big( \mathcal{H}(\alpha) \big) counting maximal cylinders weighted by area. By combining a combinatorial analysis of explicit formulas of Eskin-Masur-Zorich that express these constants in terms of Masur-Veech strata volumes, with a recent result for the large genus asymptotics of these volumes, we show that cscmi,mj(H(α))=(mi+1)(mj+1)(1+o(1))c_{\text{sc}}^{m_i, m_j} \big( \mathcal{H} (\alpha) \big) = (m_i + 1) (m_j + 1) \big( 1 + o(1) \big) and carea(H(α))=12+o(1)c_{\text{area}} \big( \mathcal{H}(\alpha) \big) = \frac{1}{2} + o(1), both as α=2g2|\alpha| = 2g - 2 tends to \infty. The former result confirms a prediction of Zorich and the latter confirms one of Eskin-Zorich in the case of connected strata.
